A new 100,000 square-foot warehouse and distribution center in Scranton, PA, will house the seforim of Kehos and Lahak allowing them to serve the growing number of Yidden learning Chassidus. Take part in funding this huge step in hafotzas hamayonos.
The Rebbe’s publishing house, Kehot Publication Society, in partnership with Vaad Hanachos B’Lahak, publishers of the Rebbe’s Toras Menachem series, are excited to announce the impending purchase of a spacious, 100,000 square-foot warehouse and distribution center, which will consolidate and streamline their operations.
In response to the exponential growth in the publication of the Sifrei Chasidus and Nigleh of Chabad-Lubavitch, Kehot and Lahak recognized the urgent need for expanded infrastructure to effectively manage their ever-growing catalogs. The acquisition of this new warehouse and distribution center represents a significant step forward in the Rebbe’s mission to disseminate timeless wisdom and insights to an expanding global audience.
To support this initiative, Kehot Publication Society has launched a crowdfunding campaign with the goal of raising $400,000 to cover a portion of the high costs associated with the downpayment and moving. This crowdfunding effort provides an opportunity for supporters and patrons of Kehot and Lahak to contribute directly to the expansion of Kehot’s operations and the continued dissemination of its invaluable publications.
“We are thrilled to embark on this next phase of growth and expansion for Kehot Publication Society,” said Rabbi Yosef B. Friedman of Kehot. “Our phenomenal growth in recent years, as reflected in the constant printing and reprinting of individual books and complete sets, has made this purchase and expansion absolutely necessary.
“Thanks to the dedicated Kehot team of editors, designers, typographers, salespeople, shipping, and inventory management specialists, our inventory of in-print seforim, of all the Rebbeim, has historically never been as high as now.”
“With the support of our community and readers, we are confident that we can achieve our fundraising goal and ensure the success of this important initiative.”
The crowdfunding campaign will run from Tes Adar II through Shushan Purim, during which supporters will have the opportunity to contribute towards the $400,000 goal. Contributions of any size are welcomed and appreciated, as each donation brings Kehot Publication Society one step closer to securing the necessary funds to facilitate the acquisition and relocation process.
“We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have already received from the community and supporters,” remarked Rabbi Chaim Shaul Brook of Lahak. “With their help, we can expand our operations and be meifitz the wellsprings of our Rebbeim to even more students and readers of the Chasidus.”
